Oscilloscopes and MSOs

The Link Instruments USB Oscilloscopes have all of the features you expect in a standalone scope and some you only wished for, while giving you greater control, portability, large color displays and easy signal analysis.

The DSO-8502 is a dual channel scope with 512K buffers, 500MSa (single shot) and 20GSa (repetitive) sampling, advanced suite of measurements and new QuadVue software interface.

The DSO-8202 has two channels with 128K buffers, a max sample rate of 200 MSa.

The MSO-9212 is our new flagship model. It has 14 inputs (2 DSO and 12 Logic Analyzer) with  full cross-triggering.  The large 2 MPt data buffer will let you make full use of the 1GSa( single shot) and 50GSa( repetitive mode) sampling.

The palm sized MSO-19 samples at 200MSa (single shot), has analog and digital inputs, is USB powered and is only $249.  Small enough to carry in your laptop bag for whenever you need a DSO, LA or PG.  Some of our beta testers liked the triggering so much that they said they would use it as a trigger box for their expensive standalone oscilloscopes.
